Quatrain 118 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
That idol, the beauty and adornment of our gathering,
Is not in our gathering; we do not know where it is.
A tall cypress with an upright stature,
From whose stature, a resurrection has arisen within us.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Absent Beauty: The poet is describing a beloved who is absent from a gathering, and their absence is causing a sense of longing and yearning.
The Cypress Metaphor: The beloved is compared to a cypress tree, symbolizing beauty, grace, and height.
Spiritual Awakening: The final line suggests that the beloved's absence has triggered a spiritual awakening or a profound emotional experience within the poet.
